Guard

A metal fitting or projection at the junction of a knife’s blade and its handle designed primarily to prevent the user’s hand from sliding on to the blade. Guards are used mainly on hunting knives, butcher knives, bowie knives, daggers and combat knives. Guards that project both top and bottom are often called crossguards. (See: Hilt)
